Okay, we're live. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey Investigates on today's show of a very special guest, a returning guest. His name is Archie Richards. And we talked back in July 2021 about his book, America's Bankruptcy Approaches, How to Resolve the Issue and Prevented from Recurring. That was just published September. And he's published another book back in 2020
